Han Xiao could give out all kinds of missions. Challenge missions were usually more difficult and were usually used for large-scale missions. Every player's action would affect the final result of the mission. All the players were making a small contribution to the mission, so they needed to work together and help each other in order to complete the mission.
He had seen challenge missions that could affect the version change before. Millions of players were fighting for the same goal, and every player's action would produce single-digit contribution points. The mission required tens of millions of contribution points to complete, and once it was successful, there would be a critical turning point in the storyline.
[The Last Stand] was a means by which Han Xiao wanted the Blue Star players to continue paying attention to Sanctuary Three after he left. He hinted in the mission introduction that there would be a catastrophe in the future, but he did not say it clearly. However, the meaning revealed was enough to make the players' imagination run wild and make them speculate about the future storyline.
Han Xiao did not say anything himself. He wanted the players to think that the news was revealed through the mission and was authoritative.
The little trick when he gave out the test mission was to warm up the audience.
Freezing the mission was a special way to make the mission temporarily not start. When the catastrophe was confirmed, Han Xiao would activate the mission remotely. This was like bait, constantly whetting the players' curiosity and revealing clues about the future, making them want to know the truth.
The prerequisite for giving out missions was that the two parties were not too far away from each other. This was a hidden condition that Han Xiao had tested many times. After leaving the planet, it was impossible for him to continue giving out missions to the Blue Star players, but it was not a problem for him to remotely give out missions.
I still have a few days left in the sanctuary, enough for me to go around the entire sanctuary and let these hundreds of thousands of players accept the mission, Han Xiao thought to himself.
This way, he could ensure that these hundreds of thousands of players would remember Sanctuary Three and solidify their image as a main city. At the start of Version 0, these players could protect the sanctuary and survive the most dangerous period.
…
The past few days had been filled with one wave after another for the players.
Originally, the Germinal Organization storyline had been over for a long time, and Han Xiao had been very low-key. The players started to believe the judgment of Galaxy Times, thinking that this main character of the storyline had lost his role and had become a purely functional NPC.
However, Black Phantom had been quiet for more than half a year, and recently, he had become active again, and his actions were very shocking.
He actually wanted to select players to go to the Galaxy with him!
That was not all. Black Phantom had also left a prize-pool mission that had not been activated yet. The brief description of the mission seemed to have revealed that there would be a huge catastrophe that would sweep across Blue Star in the future.
This' outdated 'NPC had returned to the heart of the storm and caused a new wave of commotion. Many of the old players felt a sense of familiarity from the bottom of their hearts. They remembered that Black Phantom had been leading the trend since the start of the open beta. When this scene appeared again, it actually felt a sense of familiarity.
On the forums, countless players were discussing the 'catastrophe' that Blue Star was about to face.
"Alien invasion? The six nations started another war and completely destroyed the planet's environment? Or a natural disaster? "
"I think this could be a new round of the main storyline. Look, the other planets are in full swing right now. Only our Blue Star is so idle. It's time for a new storm to appear!"
"As the saying goes, when the world is united for a long time, it must part, and when separated, it must unite. Could it be that the Romance of the Six Kingdoms is about to begin?"
The discussion was lively, and some players suddenly had the idea to link the two recent events of Han Xiao together.
"Black Phantom is in a hurry to leave the planet. Could it be related to this catastrophe? He wants to escape from it!"
"Impossible. I remember there was an episode of 'Vegetable Bag Hits Himself' where Black Phantom gave a motivational speech, saying that he wanted to protect life. Isn't he very noble?"
"If that's the case, then there must be no hope. That's why Black Phantom gave up on his home and decided to escape. How big will the scale of the catastrophe be? The following main storyline won't be so fierce, right?"
"Not necessarily. Maybe Black Phantom is just a coward. Didn't you see that he even brought helpers with him to escape?"
"Are you kidding? He's the main character of the storyline. The Germinal Organization was destroyed by him. Why would he run?"
"You can't say that. A large part of his deeds in the Germinal Organization were behind the scenes. There's a historical reason why he and the Germinal Organization are enemies. Both sides are at loggerheads, so he has to fight with the Germinal Organization. But it's different when it comes to a catastrophe. He can choose to avoid it."
"I thought he wouldn't have any more scenes after defeating the Germinal Organization."
There would not be only one opinion on a topic. Some people supported Han Xiao, and some people maliciously speculated.
Han Xiao naturally did not care. It was a good thing to have opposing opinions. Conflict could attract more attention. On the other hand, if everyone was singing his praises, it would be easy to get sick of it.
Pork Bun could not help it. He did not want to see the players belittle Han Xiao's reason for leaving. This was selfish. He had already decided to make a series of future galactic adventure shows. If the audience had the mentality that they were escapees, it would negatively affect the show's appeal. On the contrary, if Han Xiao's reason for going to space was noble, then their adventure would affect the heartstrings of the Blue Star audience. Coincidentally, Pork Bun had such material in his hands.
Therefore, in the new episode, Pork Bun released Han Xiao's private speech to the four of them that night. This speech could show that Han Xiao's reason for leaving was to go to space to find a solution to solve the disaster. This instantly raised Han Xiao's image.
At the end of the show, Pork Bun released a trailer. "Looking up at the mysterious starry sky, yearning for it. I will follow Black Phantom to the vast starry sky. For this, I will make a new series of shows to record every bit of the galactic adventure and show the stars of the universe in front of you. Please look forward to it."
Because the topic was very popular, Pork Bun's show was widely spread. The players suddenly realized that Han Xiao had gone to space to solve the disaster. They were immediately filled with respect. Of course, there were also a small number of people who were skeptical.
No matter what their attitude was, they were all paying attention to this incident. They were very curious about how Han Xiao would go to space and stand side by side with the sun. They were also looking forward to Pork Bun's future shows.
This series of news was only circulated among the players, and some local forces were still in the dark.
…
Snow covered the sky, and the north wind howled.
This was a continuous snowy mountain range located in Raylan. There were many wild beasts in the mountains, and there was no trace of humans. There was not a single city within dozens of miles, and from time to time, loud and low roars of wild beasts could be heard echoing in the mountains.
One of Raylan's top secret research facilities was hidden in the mountains.
Inside the research facility, Kerlodd's spaceship was suspended in the air. Countless devices were intertwined around the spaceship, detecting various parameters of the spaceship and displaying them on a big screen. Countless researchers were coming and going, adjusting the devices.
After getting the spaceship for more than ten days, Raylan had secretly organized people to study it. These researchers were the top talents in the military and intelligence agencies. Most of them were pure researchers, and most of them were normal people. There were also Mechanic superhumans.
So many top talents were working together, but the progress was very slow. The spaceship's technology was much more advanced than Blue Star's. Furthermore, Godora's technology contained magic, and many of its functions could be implemented with magic runes. This was completely different from Blue Star's technology.
